Going fast on the water is a different sensation altogether than land. Passengers would practically piss their pants.
Cheers.
Oh yeah!... sad to say, 140-150 in the Cobra has become rather mundane... unlike the '98 Allison XB2003 w/2.5 Drag 300... driving a 110+mph pad boat has been one of the greatest adrenalin rushes in my life. I still get out on the Fox River occasionally on my buddy's 24' Skater w/twin 2.5 offshores, but even that lacks the thrill of balancing a pad hull at speed...
